Patent CA-2289250-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALKER STEVEN DALE
IPC: H02B1/20
Filed: 1999-11-08
Abstract: The neutral cross bus in a switchgear assembly formed from two sets of side-by-side cabinets includes first and second neutral buses for the respective sets of cabinets. Each neutral bus is made up of a stack of flat conductors oriented horizontally in a main section extending across the cabinets of the set and vertically in a terminal section confronting the terminal section of the other neutral bus. The vertically oriented terminal sections are easily bolted together despite their limited accessibility when the two sets of cabinets are installed side-by-side.      The flat conductors of the neutral cross bus are supported in their horizontal main sections by spaced supports formed by planar members with spaced horizontal slots set on edge and mounted by end flanges. The multiple flat conductors of neutral runbacks are interleaved with the flat conductors of the main sections of the cross bus and are supported by partitions having an opening sized to accommodate the maximum number of runback conductors with the remaining portion of the opening blocked by spacers interlocked with each other and the edges of the opening when less than the maximum number of flat runback conductors are used.

IPC: B65D1/00
Filed: 1998-07-16
Abstract: A glass fiber capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 1900 ~F (1038 ~C) is produced by treating a glass, preferably E-glass, fiber. The glass fiber is first leached with selected acids, and then the leached fiber is treated with organo-metallic materials of low viscosity, such as a dispersion of low molecular weight water-in-oil emulsion of dimethyl polysiloxane. The fiber is used in such applications as embedding it in a fire-resistant active coating material or embedding it into one surface of a polyolefin or composite plastic, such as a polypropylene sheet. The treated fiberglass can be used as a sole component or in concert with a fire-resistant or fire retardant material to further enhance its fire-resistant properties. Other fire-resistant composite materials are formed by precoating a fabric (1) with an active (intumescent or subliming) material (3), then embedding the precoated fabric (5) into a surface of a preferably thermoplastic sheet substrate (11).  The precoated fabric is preferably adhered to or embedded in the surface of the substrate simultaneously with a molding process which forms the composite into a shape such as an automotive container like a fuel tank or trunk base.  Other composites (21) are formed by adhering thermal protective structure (28) comprising a fabric (29) precoated with an active thermal protective composition (31) to a structure (23, 25, 27, 33) formed from fibers coated with an adhesive.

Title: Biological process for removing phosphorus involving a membrane filter
Inventor: KOCH FREDERIC
IPC: C02F1/44
Filed: 2000-07-19
Abstract: A waste water treatment process for biologically removing phosphates incorporates a membrane filter. The process includes three zones, an anaerobic zone, an anoxic zone and an aerobic zone containing an anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic mixed liquor. Water to be treated flows first into the anaerobic zone. Anaerobic mixed liquor flows to the anoxic zone. Anoxic mixed liquor flows both back to the anaerobic zone and to the aerobic zone. The aerobic mixed liquor flows to the anoxic zone and also contacts the feed side of a membrane filter. The membrane filter treats the aerobic mixed liquor to produce a treated effluent lean in phosphorous, nitrogen, COD or BOD, suspended solids and organisms at a permeate side of the membrane filter and a liquid rich in rejected solids and organisms. Some or all of the material rejected by the membrane filter is removed from the process either directly or by returning the material rejected by the membrane filter to the anoxic or aerobic zones and wasting aerobic sludge. In a first optional side stream process, phosphorous is precipitated from a liquid lean in solids extracted from the anaerobic mixed liquor. In a second optional side stream process, anaerobic mixed liquor is treated to form insoluble phosphates which are removed in a hydrocyclone.

Title: Sputtered metal film fuse state indicator
Inventor: DARR MATTHEW RAIN
IPC: H01H85/30
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: An opened fuse indicator includes a substantially transparent lens, a transparent base, and a dark colored backing layer. A sputtered metal layer is formed on the transparent base to provide a light-colored electrically conductive surface including a narrowed portion that forms a fuse link that is visible against the dark background of backing layer when viewed through the transparent lens. The conductive sputtered metal layer is electrically connected to a pair of fuse terminals to form a secondary fuse circuit in parallel with a main fuse circuit. Current directed through the secondary fuse circuit after the main circuit opens melts the sputtered metal layer so that it is no longer visible against the dark colored backing layer and the fuse is thereby indicated as opened.
